Destruction at White Course!

When Anja and I arrived home from school today, one of the staff members at the desk said, "Don't worry, the power is back on." It turned out it wasn't a system upgrade or anything boring you might first suspect. A neighbor hit a transformer near our parking lot!


Backhoe!








Have you ever seen the inside of a transformer box? Turns out it's more fun to imagine.







She hit the transformer hard enough to uproot a pine tree about 8 feet away!






Anja correctly identified the electrician's tools thanks to a book we got from Colin, her birthday buddy. I think she said something like, "attrition" which in a way is accurate if you think of the decrease in electricity to the neighborhood. But she meant electrician.
